A fresh approach is needed to sustain culture services in the future, according to a new partnership of organisations representing local government, including the LGA.
With our rich history, diverse landscapes, and world-class production crew and facilities, the UK is considered one of the most attractive destinations in the world for the film and TV industry.

Local culture can be used to support mental wellbeing, provide educational opportunity and create jobs as part of the recovery from the pandemic and cost-of-living crisis, according to a new LGA report.
Councils are highlighting the positive impact of cultural and creative services across key government objectives of economic growth, productivity, levelling up and health, as part of the LGA’s Commission on Culture and Local Government.
‘Culture is not just a ‘bit of fun’ but a fundamental pillar of levelling up and vital to everything from improving physical and mental health to raising educational attainment.
